Gabe Green

Overview

Gabe Green's UFC record is 3-3, and the six fights tell two stories: nothing he's won came in the first round, and the one first-round fight he's had was a loss that lasted 14 seconds.

"Gifted" is a switch-stance lightweight out of Los Angeles who trains with Subfighter MMA in Laguna Niguel, California. His professional record across all promotions is 12-5-0. Inside the UFC he has two finishes and one decision win, and he carries a one-fight win streak into his next bout.

Even record. Uneven fights.

UFC Career

Green debuted in May 2020 against Daniel Rodriguez and dropped a unanimous decision. He bounced back in February 2021 at UFC 258 with a unanimous decision win over Phil Rowe.

Then came his best stretch. In April 2022 he stopped Yohan Lainesse with a KO/TKO in round two at 4:02. Two months later at UFC 276 he lost a unanimous decision to Ian Machado Garry, and in May 2023 Bryan Battle stopped him in 14 seconds of the first round.

After a layoff of more than two years, Green returned in May 2025 and submitted Matheus Camilo in round two at 3:43.

Two of his three losses went the distance, so he has been beaten on the scorecards more often than he has been finished. The one stoppage loss was as sudden as they come.

Fighting Style

Green is a high-volume striker who lands more than most fighters in the UFC. That output comes with a cost: he gets hit more than most and defends strikes worse than average, so his fights tend to be exchanges rather than one-sided affairs.

He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions much either. His takedown defense is around the UFC average, so he is neither easy to put on the mat nor especially hard to.

His two UFC finishes, one by KO/TKO and one by submission, both came in round two, and none have come in round one. The submission win shows he can finish in ways other than striking, but it is a small sample, and his third win came by decision.
